My hair is my ticket to feeling accepted.
, and Anne Hathaway all have different hair, but there is one thing they have in common: Their hair looks moneyed. It’s the hair of shampoo commercials and superhero franchises and Met Gala appearances. Moneyed hair is why Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s hair looks bohemian rather than unkempt. It’s why Gigi Hadid’s messy bun can be accompanied by couture.
Growing up, I didn’t think of money beyond how many weeks of allowance it would take me to afford that Spice Girls tape. Likewise, I didn’t realize my family had less money than my friends’ families—just that we had different things. They had air conditioning, and we had huge fans in every window that turned our home into one big, noisy wind tunnel. When I slept over at friends’ houses, I’d marvel at the luxury of sleeping under comforters in the middle of the summer.
My friends would get highlights done by hairdressers whose names they knew. “I’m going to Theresa after school on Thursday,” they’d say to me. I envied their familiarity with their hairdressers. I had always gone to the Hair Cuttery, where I sat down in the next available chair. The hairdressers didn’t know me, nor I them. I envied my friends’ highlights, too. I was only allowed to use boxed dye; the dimensions of meticulously applied highlights eluded me.
I wanted the type of hair that seemed to open doors. I wanted the type of hair that would make people think I, too, had grown up in a house with air conditioning.
